How do I implement multithreading in Java?

To implement multithreading in Java, you can either extend the Thread class or implement the Runnable interface. Which one would you like to know more about?

Can you explain the Runnable interface?

Sure! The Runnable interface has a single method, run(), that you need to implement. You create a class that implements Runnable and define the run() method with the code you want to execute in a thread.

How do I start a thread using the Runnable interface?

You can start a thread by creating an instance of the Thread class, passing your Runnable object to its constructor, and then calling the start() method on the Thread instance.

Can you show me a code example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Thread is running!");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread thread = new Thread(new MyRunnable());
        thread.start();
    }
}
